King's Chapel & Burying Ground
Bostonians were not pleased when the original Anglican church was erected on this site in 1688. (Remember, it was the Anglicans – the Church of England – whom the Puritans were fl eeing.) The granite chapel standing today was built in 1754, while the adjacent burying ground is the oldest in the city.

As the story goes, Mrs Mallard and her brood are helped across the busy street by a friendly Boston policeman.
